Method for adjusting an impedance of a tunable matching network
Abstract:
Example embodiments relate to methods for adjusting an impedance of a tunable matching network, One embodiment includes a method for adjusting an impedance of a tunable matching network (TMN) connected between an antenna and a transceiver front-end. The TMN includes a receive path to provide signals from the antenna to a receiver during a receive (Rx) mode and a transmit path to provide signals from a transmitter to the antenna during a transmit (Tx) mode. The method includes tuning the TMN. The method also includes measuring values of an output DC-offset at the receiver while tuning the TMN. The output DC-offset is caused by a coupling between the transmitter and the receiver. Further, the method includes determining a maximum value of the output DC-offset from the measured output DC-offset values. Additionally, the method includes adjusting the impedance of the TMN by tuning the TMN to the output DC-offset maximum value.
